Frequently Asked Questions
What is Microsoft Azure Archive Storage?
Azure Archive Storage is a cloud storage tier designed for data that is accessed very infrequently and stored for long periods, such as backups, media archives, or regulatory compliance data. It offers the lowest storage costs but has higher data retrieval times and costs compared to other tiers.
What does LRS mean in this context?
LRS stands for Locally Redundant Storage. In this subscription, it implies that your data is replicated within a single data center or across multiple data centers within a specific Azure region, providing protection against hardware failures but not against regional disasters.
Can I access data stored in the archive tier quickly?
Data retrieval from the archive tier typically takes several hours, as it is optimized for cost savings over immediate access. If you require faster access, consider using the Hot or Cool storage tiers.
